Learn how to upload brand audio to your workspace

Published


Overview#

This endpoint allows you to upload brand audio to your workspace. You can upload audio from a URL, as a base64-encoded string, or as a binary upload.

https://api.orshot.com/v1/brand-assets/audio/add

Request#

await fetch("https://api.orshot.com/v1/brand-assets/audio/add", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    Authorization: "Bearer <ORSHOT_API_KEY>",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    file: "https://example.com/audio/background-music.mp3",
    name: "background-music.mp3", // optional
    tags: ["intro", "music"], // optional
    metadata: { // optional
      duration: 169.5,
      description: "Background music track"
    }
  }),
});

Request Parameters#

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
fileStringYesURL, base64-encoded string, or binary upload of the audio file
nameStringNoCustom name for the audio (defaults to original filename or auto-generated)
tagsString[]NoArray of tags to associate with the audio (e.g., ["intro", "music"])
metadataObjectNoCustom metadata to attach to the audio (can include duration)

Supported Audio Formats#

  • MP3 (audio/mpeg)
  • WAV (audio/wav)
  • M4A (audio/mp4)
  • AAC (audio/aac)
  • OGG (audio/ogg)
  • Opus (audio/opus)
  • FLAC (audio/flac)
  • WebM (audio/webm)
  • AIFF (audio/aiff)
  • WMA (audio/x-ms-wma)

Notes#

  • Maximum file size: 50MB
  • For base64 uploads, include the file extension in the name (e.g., track.wav) so the format is detected correctly — otherwise it defaults to mp3.
  • Audio is stored as-is; it is re-encoded to AAC automatically when a template is rendered to video.

Query Parameters#

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
embedIdStringNoEmbed instance ID. Pair with embedUserId to scope this call to one embed user
embedUserIdStringNoThe same userId your app passes to the embed URL. Requires embedId

Per-User Libraries#

Pass embedId and embedUserId together to add the audio to that embed user's private library instead of the shared workspace library. This is how one embed serves many brands or tenants, each with its own brand space.

Omit them and this endpoint behaves exactly as documented above. See Per-User Brand Assets for the full picture.
